Example of end-use: All kind of applications in office buildings, showrooms, public halls, function rooms, cafés, restaurants, canteens, banks, bars. Areas in which seating is occasionally or repeatedly subject to extremely high loads due to their specific types of use or doe to improper use. Examples of end-use: Night -clubs, police stations, transport terminals, sport changing rooms, prisons, barracks (non-controlled areas). It should be noted that some end uses may be covered by more than one requirement depending on the severity of the expected use. This applies particularly to furniture in nursing homes and public areas in hospitals. These types of furniture are subject to test severity L1. But for seating fulfilling the requirements Seating which may be moved when occupied, the test Vertical upwards static load on arm rests in accordance with Table 1 ( 7) should be carried out with test severity L2.
